Hi Eric, @franzosa I am using humann v3.0.0. I have downloaded Chocophlan and Uniref90 full databases running _humann\_databases --download chocophlan full $INSTALL\_LOCATION_ and _humann\_databases --download uniref uniref90\_diamond $INSTALL\_LOCATION_ respectively. I have paired-end data, and converted it to a single file through cat.  
when I ran _humann --input SLG\_cat.fastq --output humann3\_output_ I am getting an error message **CRITICAL ERROR: The directory provided for ChocoPhlAn contains files ( full\_chocophlan.v296\_201901.tar.gz ) that are not of the expected version. Please install the latest version of the database: 201901b**.

I followed this link [Difficulty downloading databases in humann3 - #24 by sagunmaharjann](https://forum.biobakery.org/t/difficulty-downloading-databases-in-humann3/1343/24) and downloaded full\_chocophlan.v296\_201901b.tar.gz and configured the path. when I reran _humann --input SLG\_cat.fastq --output humann3\_output_ I got another error **CRITICAL ERROR: The directory provided for ChocoPhlAn does not contain files of the expected format (ie ‘^[g\_\_][s\_\_]’).**  
I am unable to detect where I’m doing wrong.  
Pls help me out.
